Rocket + camera + streaming footage + shot into Area 51 = ?

With so many information hungry people out there regarding Area 51, why has nobody ever successfully shot a rocket with a streaming camera attached
into the section of Area 51 congested with buildings, hangers, etc.? Maybe it has happened and the footage exists out there, but I've never heard of
it. If it were to be done and all you obtained from the footage was a still shot of an area of the facility, it wouldn't matter how uninteresting the
footage is because what you have is footage taken inside the main facility of Area 51 as it is today! I've seen all sorts of rockets available for
purchase by the public. Sure, some cost upwards into the $10,000+ range and obviously a lot are much cheaper, but some I have seen do have the
potential to be shot off from a location outside the restricted perimeter and land right smack dab in the middle of the main facility, as long as you
have your calculations correct.

In my mind here are the ways I see this happening. You shoot off the rocket somewhere outside the perimeter at an angle so it will arc and come down
somewhere in the facility in a hard landing fashion or if you more prefer a soft landing, have a parachute deploy once the rocket is at the correct
position over the facility so that any potential wind or other factors will bring it down in an area you're hoping for. In any of these attempts make
sure the camera is positioned in the best manner possible depending on how you plan for the rocket to come down. The camera would be streaming the
footage to a location where it would be recorded and saved because obviously you'd never see that camera again.

Why has this never been done? Is it truly not possible in terms of mechanics or has the fear of arrest and prosecution deterred even the most
psychotic out there? I'm no expert, but it just seems by now someone would have accomplished doing this.

Shooting a rocket into a secure government facility doesn’t really seem like a smart move unless you’re looking to break big rocks into little
rocks at Leavenworth. If you need a new place to live for the next 40 years there are better options….just saying!

With all the over the counter tech today I wouldn't surprised if someone were to take and RC copter and a cam to film around that place. Air Hog has
a RC helicopter with camera. They could just amp it up for distance and there you go.

Don't ask me. I'm asking the same thing. There seems to be so many possibilities and yet I've never heard of anything like this happening. I guess
determined psychos no longer exist. Maybe they've all been locked away? All we're left with are the zero potential psychos.

You think their defenses are going to be as weak to let that idea infiltrate their security? There's governments with unlimited expenses that want to
see what America are inventing, able to develop stateliness and stealth planes - So I highly doubt you're idea of a amateur rocket on an amateur
streaming connection is going to achieve anything along the lines of what you're thinking.

Not having a dig OP, just playing Captain Obvious for this particular post

Add to this fact, that you would go to prison too. . So its defiantly not a good idea

I would suspect that it's because illegally firing rockets to come down hard into the middle of Government property in order to get some pictures of
a few hangars is not only dangerous to the lives of the people who actually work there but expensive and likely to land you a long time in jail. And
rightfully so.

What do you even expect to see? Do you really think that if Area 51 were used for anything nefarious that they'd just be leaving it out on the runway
for any Tom Dick or Putin to snap with a passing spy satellite?

lol i think if you shot a rocket into area 51 camera or not , that they would probably shoot 100 rockets back to your location lol

yea i have to agree with this. Im quite sure they have plenty of eyes and cameras that can see well past the restricted areas. You will eather be
fired upon before the rocket even passes the fence or chased down and captured in mins if not seconds. You would with out a doubt be deemed a threat
and most likely a terrorist, if not a spy of some sort. Enjoy your stay at the bay..Guantanamo that is. For all they would know this rocket is
explosive.. I pitty the fool

My point in the end is why have we never seen the footage of this being attempted? So half way through the camera feed goes out because one of their
known/unknown defenses stopped it dead in its path. Where's the footage of this partial attempt? Where are the psychos?
